From the Baxter wiki segment on Xeelee Sequence: "The central narrative is that of humanity rising and evolving to become the second most powerful race in the universe, next to the god-like Xeelee. Character development tends to be secondary to the depiction of advanced theories and ideas, such as the true nature of the Great Attractor, naked singularities and the great battle between baryonic and dark matter lifeforms." Is this what you think is harder sci-fi than TBP, with better character development?
